Can gums grow back from gingivitis?

Here are a variety of contributions for WikiAnswers users:The short answer is, Yes! Gums can and do grow back on their own without your having to do anything special. Because oral hygiene professionals don't talk about this, it's hard to say how common it is.Now, to give you a response that any dentist would give you; yes. A dentist can refer you to a specialist to get a gingival graft if your gums receded due to aggressive brushing, not from the gum disease. Although there are plenty of options for making up for gum loss. The long name for such a graft is subepithelial connective tissue graft.Here is a answer from a specialist on the matter.... I have a specialty in Periodontics and can probably answer your question. There are 2 kinds of gum recession. Gum loss due to periodontitis (i.e., bone loss) is called Pathological recession and if that is case,your gums will not grow back. But if you lost gum tissue because of aggressive brushing, which is not accompanied by bone loss, you can get that fixed by a Periodontist. There are several techniques to do this. It is called a gingival graft. The Periodontist will harvest a small piece of tissue from your palate and place it in the areas of gum loss. If you are interested, ask the Periodontist for "Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft" which more aesthetic.Also to help a small amount of receding gums ask for a scaling/planing, this is the cleaning away for plaque beneath the gum line.The truth is, there are healthy ways by which you can regrow your gums! The body was made to heal itself and it can do miraculous things, indeed!Stimulating the gums with a very cheap gum stimulator has expressed results to a good number of people. It's like a stick, made of rubber and it helps circulate the blood in the gums, causing it to heal and grow. Ask your dentist about this, he/she may know. If not, here's a post from someone who does;Cutting down or quitting sugar helps.OraMD may help.Just remember two things... diet is important and don't lose hope! And remember to brush gently on your teeth. If you feel they are not being cleaned good enough, then brush longer.. not harder. Receding gums can be caused by brushing too hard.


How do you regrow gum tissue onto tooth root?

Unfortunately, gum tissue lost due to recession or gum disease is generally permanent. In severe cases, surgery can be performed where tissue from another part of the mouth, typically the palate (roof of the mouth) is transplanted to replace lost gum tissue. This surgery requires a high level of skill from the surgeon.
